mission and possible targets. take a look. later in the tape they talk about specific targets like the electric grid and launching attacks in the dead of winter so people lose power and heat. they talk about the state of cyber security in the u.s. like ening a testament how vulnerable they

think american computer systems are. they closed out with a message from a leader from al qaeda in iraq, killed two years ago. the department of homeland security says it has seen 50,000 reports of cyber intrusions or attempts since last october. that is 10,000 more than the previous year. right now, there is a new cyber security act making its way through congress that would force security upgrades for critical sites. we'll talk about this throughout the morning. coming up in our 8:00 hour, i'll talk to one self-described white hat hacker, the good kind that is, who is now helping the

family for the lawyer who represented me in this case. and all that got us was a plea bargain and that destroyed my life. i was overcome with relief, but still reminded of just the pain and suffering that i went through the whole time with prison and parole, and just all the false accusations made against me. it's a tough reminder. >> there are a lot of guys out there in that situation, the plea bargains have become the 95% solution. 95% of cases are adjudicate bid plea. lots of guys get in a situation like brian they're told look, somebody said you did it you're saying you didn't do it. you can go in court and roll the dice and you may die in prison or take this deal. and on top of it, brian is a 17-year-old kid sitting there making that decision on his own. what is tragic about the case is if we hadn't got the recantation

or no, even talking to me about his -- he's a very private person. >> did he appeared troubled to you at all? >> what? >> did he appeared troubled? >> no more so than perhaps average person that might come in the church. sometimes he was a little bit more -- he was very quiet but more animated sometimes less, some days he was down, some days not so. i would say overly troubled no. >> his lawyer has said that he's mentally unstable. suffers from hallucinations, did you ever see anything that might support that? >> that's interesting. pedro, very much kept to himself. there are some things i read that as well this morning coming out in the media, that i was personally unaware of.

but he did keep to himself. rosemary and becky, i knew them better. >> how are they doing, how is the family reacting? >> they were up in new york, you're aware of that yerksd i didn't have the opportunity to talk to them. but when i met together with them on thursday, and they were just devastated, they were emotionally shattered. i told them the church family would love and care for them and see them through this whole thing. >> pastor george bowen, thank you very much for your time and your insight this morning. >> okay, thank you. now for other stories that we're watching a new era in commercial space flight underway with a bit of unpacking to do the crew of the international space station is set to unload food, clothing and scientific supplies from the unmanned spacex dragon spacecraft the
